[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

[BELL TOLLING]

The plane! The plane!

- Good morning, boss.
- Good morning, Tattoo.

Smiles, everyone! Smiles!

[BAND PLAYS]

TATTOO: Who's that lady, boss?

MR. ROARKE: Miss
Rowena Haversham

of the Kentucky Havershams.

Her family has long been known

for breeding champion
racehorses and show jumpers.

Did her accident have anything
to do with jumping horses?

She was injured in
a fall from a horse

when just a young woman.

Her career of jumping
horses had barely begun,

- and suddenly it was all over.
- TATTOO: What's her fantasy?

Miss Haversham's fantasy
is to be made young again,

so she can have the chance

to win the prize she's
always dreamed about,

- the Blue Ribbon.
- TATTOO: Oh, that should be a...

A snap.

Sometimes the
simplest things, Tattoo,

are not so simple after all.

TATTOO: That guy sure
knows what he's doing, boss.

MR. ROARKE:
That's the personality

Mr. Danny Clements wants
to present to the world, Tattoo.

The truth is, he sees his
life as an empty failure.

What's his fantasy, boss?

To turn his life around
and make a new start.

TATTOO: Millions of
people have that dream, boss.

Yes. But Mr. Clements
is willing to gamble...

everything to make
his dream a reality.

Everything?

Everything, including his life.

My dear guests, I am
Mr. Roarke, your host.

Welcome to Fantasy Island.

[HORSE NEIGHING]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Good boy. Good boy.

It's okay. Good boy.
Good boy. Good boy.

Easy, boy. Easy.

Oh, I'm sorry. Are you okay?

Oh, I should be asking
you that question.

My wheelchair must
have startled your horse.

I should know better.
Except my own horses,

they're used to
this contraption.

-You have horses? -Oh, yes.

I didn't mean to go...

scaring the daylights
out of your horse, though.

What's his name?

Candy Kisses. And
I'm Crystal Denning.

Delighted to meet
you, Crystal. I'm...

I'm sorry, Crystal,
I'm being rude.

- This is Miss Haversham.
- CRYSTAL: Haversham?

Are you one of the
Kentucky Havershams?

That I am.

CRYSTAL: Well, your
horses are famous.

You must have
tons of Blue Ribbons.

They've won their
share over the years.

Not me, personally.

I almost did once,

but I was in an accident,
and I was disqualified.

If I could never ride again,

I don't think I'd
ever stop crying.

The only thing worse would
be losing Candy Kisses.

You do love your
horse, don't you?

More than anything
else in the whole world,

except my Uncle Jim.

JIM: You were supposed
to meet me, Crystal.

Oh, I'm sorry, Uncle Jim,

but I met this nice lady
and we got to talking.

Uncle Jim, this is
Miss Haversham,

and this is my friend Tattoo.

How do you do? Very
pleased to meet you.

- Jim Denning.
- You've got a charming niece.

Charming and late.

I'm afraid you'll
have to excuse her.

We have an appointment
with a prospective buyer.

But, Uncle Jim, Candy
Kisses is gonna win this time.

I know it.

You've got an awful lot
more confidence in him

than I do, honey. He's
never won anything yet.

But that's my fault, not his.

My riding's improved.
You said so yourself.

I'm sorry, Crystal,
I've made up my mind.

We can't afford to
keep a loser, honey.

No Blue Ribbon, no Candy
Kisses. This is his last chance.

JIM: Awfully nice
meeting you, folks.

- If you'll excuse us, please.
- But of course. Goodbye.

-Bye. -Goodbye.

MR. ROARKE: For a man
who regards himself as a failure,

you are very
relaxed, Mr. Clements.

Well, I'm always
relaxed, Mr. Roarke.

That's my problem. You
see, I've relaxed myself

right out of every
job I've ever held.

Either that or some
gorgeous gal comes along

and I get tangled
up in her problems

and pretty soon... [SNICKERS]
another job down the tubes.

I know the problem.

Anyway, I intend to change
all that starting right now.

May I ask, how do
you hope to pull it off?

- Pull what off, boss?
- Well, Tattoo, you see,

Mr. Clements wants
me to help him get inside

one of the most feared
island prisons in the world.

One from which no
one has ever escaped.

No one ever escaped
and you want to go in?

Why?

I want to rescue
one of the prisoners.

A man known only as Kodiak.

I've heard he's a double
agent with information vital

to the United States government.

A most dangerous
undertaking, Mr. Clements.

But the government
is willing to pay

a $ , reward to
whoever breaks Kodiak out.

And I've got a plan.

Everything I need

to pull it off is right
here in this duffel bag.

If you could just get
me inside, Mr. Roarke,

I'll not only bust Kodiak out,

but I'll buy myself
a new start in life.

What will you do if you succeed?

Buy a boat.

Yeah.

Maybe do a little charter
work during the tourist season.

Very well. Will you
excuse me, Tattoo?

Your destination, Mr. Clements,

a modern-day Devil's
Island, deep in the heart

of a revolution-torn
foreign power.

The island is located some
miles to the southwest.

Now,

take the picture, Mr. Clements.

Look at it very carefully.

Study every detail.

Concentrate, Mr. Clements.

Think of nothing else.

Nothing.

DANNY: Where are we?

Yes, you are now where you
wanted to be, Mr. Clements.

- It's the prison.
- A prison, yes.

But how?

I mean what...

Mr. Roarke, the big duffel
bag, it's vital to my plan.

I'm well aware of that.

Your duffel bag is hidden
on the roof of that building,

- ready when you need it.
- That's terrific.

How'd I... I mean,
how did I get here?

DANNY: Who's she?

MR. ROARKE:
Colonel Eva Maldonado,

the prison commandant.

She has a reputation as an
accomplished executioner.

And those young ladies
with her are her elite guard.

They won't hesitate
to sh**t you down.

Mr. Roarke...

Oh, boy.

MR. ROARKE: Yes, I understand,
Miss Haversham, of course.

But are you absolutely sure
that winning the Blue Ribbon

is what you want more
than anything else?

When I do that, I
will be totally happy.

Except for one thing.

And what is that, may I ask?

The girl I just met,
Crystal Denning.

I'm sure you know her.

Yes, I do.

Did you know that her
uncle plans to sell her horse?

My dear Miss Haversham,
Mr. Denning has a right

to do with Candy Kisses
whatever he wishes.

He has been Crystal's guardian

since the unfortunate
death of her parents.

Well, raising a child is
an expensive proposition.

And if Crystal doesn't
win the purse tomorrow,

her uncle will have no choice

but to sell her
horse, I'm afraid.

But Crystal won't win tomorrow.

That's what I came here to do.

Yes.

Yes, that is the fantasy
you have requested,

and the one I have
agreed to give you.

But perhaps, there
is no reason to worry.

Mr. Denning is
doubtful that his niece

will be able to even
qualify for the competition.

[SIGHS] Well, that is a relief.

I wouldn't wanna be responsible
for Crystal losing her horse.

Of course. Of course.

Now, when does my fantasy begin?

Very well.

Then...

take this riding crop,
Miss Haversham.

Now, grip it tightly.

That's right.

Close your eyes.

Remember your last ride.

Mr. Roarke, no, please.

Close your eyes, Miss Haversham.

Let the memory of that
day flow through you.

Concentrate.

Concentrate.

That's right.

No, not the accident.

The joy of riding.

The air rushing
through your hair.

Mr. Roarke, I feel
like a young woman.

And that is exactly what
you are, Miss Haversham.

See for yourself.

[GASPS] Oh, it's true.

- It's true!
- Yes, Miss Haversham,

for the next two days, you
will be young and strong.

Your injuries do not exist.

And you are able to ride
as before, like the wind.

Mr. Roarke, this is the
happiest moment in my life.

Follow me. Quickly.

I knew you'd come.

We were told a member
of the Freedom Front

would be arriving any day
to help us plan our escape.

No, no, no. I don't think I'm
the guy you're looking for.

But of course you are.
You're obviously not a prisoner.

Well, no, no, I'm
not a prisoner,

-but... -No, it's all right.

We've been expecting
you. I'm Gina.

Hi, I'm Danny. Danny.

Um, who's this "we"
you keep talking about?

-Come on. I'll show you. -Wait.

Why does this
always happen to me?

Mr. Roarke, it feels so
wonderful to ride again.

Your form is excellent,
Miss Haversham.

-Excellent. -Thank you.

There is only one other
rider on Fantasy Island

who can touch you.

And she will be your
chief competitor tomorrow,

Crystal Denning.

But you said she
wouldn't qualify.

Oh, I beg your pardon,
Miss Haversham.

I believe I said her uncle
doubted that she would.

[HORSE NEIGHING]

Hi, Mr. Roarke, did you
hear the great news?

Yes. Congratulations,
Miss Denning.

Miss Denning, may I present
Miss Rowena Haversham.

Oh, I met another Miss
Haversham this morning.

Uh, that... would be my
aunt. Please call me Rowena.

Okay. Are you in the
competition tomorrow?

Yes, I am.

Uh, how about a little
competition right now?

First three obstacles?

Okay. Here goes.

She's good.

I don't like this
a bit, Mr. Roarke.

Surely, Miss Haversham,

you want to know the thrill
of winning the Blue Ribbon.

You didn't expect
it to come to you

without a contest, did you?

-No, of course not. -Of course.

Excellent, Miss
Denning. Excellent.

Don't you agree, Miss Haversham?

Yes. You're very good.

Thank you. Your turn.

Whoa, whoa.

Mr. Roarke, she's terrific.

I'll lose for sure.

You must have faith in
yourself, Miss Denning.

And in Candy Kisses.

You're going to be
hard to b*at, Rowena.

Well, I've been at it a little
bit longer than you have.

Well, just don't get
your hopes up too much.

I'm going to win that
Blue Ribbon tomorrow.

Because I have to.

Sorry, Crystal,
but not this time.

Thanks a lot, Mr. Roarke.

WOMAN: Who is he?

His name is Danny. He's
come to help us escape.

Whoa! Wait a minute.
Uh, I didn't say that.

Look, I understand your
caution. But please, relax.

We're not criminals.

We're being held hostage

here because of
our fathers' politics.

The guerrillas have
taken over the government.

I can only take one
other person out of here.

I mean, that's the plan.

Then you must change your plan.

- That's impossible.
- Or I will call the guards.

-On the other hand... -Yes?

All right. Give me a minute
here, I got to re-think this.

First of all, do you know
a man called Kodiak?

I can take you to his cell.

Is he important to you?

Well, yeah. In
fact, you might say

that everything depends
on me seeing him.

Well, I don't understand,
but we're forced to trust you.

However, if you should betray us

or try to leave
without us I warn you,

one scream will bring the guards
and very quick death to you.

[DANCE MUSIC PLAYS]

You're Mr. Denning?

-Yes. -I'm Rowena Haversham.

Oh, are you any relation to the
Ms. Haversham I met earlier?

She's a very
distinguished-looking

older woman in a wheelchair.

Only distantly. We hardly
ever see each other.

Well, beauty must
be a family trait.

- Thank you.
- May I get you some champagne?

That would be nice.

Then we can get
down to business.

Well, I don't know what
business I could have with you,

but whatever it is, I think I'm
gonna enjoy it tremendously.

I hear you have
a horse for sale.

Candy Kisses, I believe.

Not anymore.

You change your mind?

No, I made a
deal this afternoon.

At least, I heard a
very interesting offer.

I have to give my
answer tomorrow,

and I can tell you
right now, it'll be yes.

Oh.

Shall we?

Why haven't I seen
you before now?

Oh, I've been around.

Crystal and I had quite
a workout this afternoon.

Oh, that's how you found
out all about Candy Kisses.

Oh, no. She told me nothing
at all about your business.

Good.

You know how lovely
you look in the moonlight?

Please.

We must talk business.

I want to buy Candy Kisses,
and I'm prepared to double

the offer of the other
buyer, whatever it is.

- JIM: Why?
- ROWENA: I have my reasons.

I want that horse,
and money's no object.

It's that simple.

Promise me you won't sell
Candy Kisses to anyone but me.

All right, I promise.

Thanks. Both of you.

You promised not
to sell Candy Kisses

until after the competition.

And you...

You just pretended
to be my friend.

You just did that so you
could buy my horse yourself.

Oh, no, Crystal,
that's not true.

-I... -I don't believe you.

I don't believe anybody anymore.

Kodiak's in there.

Great. Gina, you're
a doll. Thanks.

-Kodiak? Hey. Hey -What?

It's all right. Hey!
It's okay, I'm a friend.

What are you doing
in my room, you fool?

I got enough weather
balloons on the roof

to airlift you
out of this joint.

-Weather balloons? -Yeah.

- You must be crazy.
- We're wasting time.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Now, why should Kodiak
baby want to leave?

One more step will
be into your grave.

Whoever you are,
this lady's right.

Besides, this is the only
place in the whole world

where I feel safe.

Twenty-four-hour-a-day
protection

and companionship.

I'm afraid that you
are a very stupid man

because I know
who really sent you,

my former associates,
the men I betrayed.

They want me out of
here so they can stand me

in front of a f*ring squad.

As you can see,

his fate here is a
bit more pleasant.

I shall spend the
rest of my life here.

And so shall you.

[ROWENA GASPS]

You shouldn't sneak
up on people like that.

I'm sorry.

I'm also sorry about
what happened last night.

No more than I.

Please, I would... I would
like you to understand.

When Crystal's parents d*ed,
they left her a huge farmhouse,

plenty of acreage
for raising horses.

The only problem is, the
thing was mortgaged to the hilt.

Oh?

If I don't do something
soon, we lose everything.

Now, if Crystal could
win that purse today,

I wouldn't sell that
horse to anybody.

But that's not going to happen.

She knows deep in her heart

that what you're
doing is best for her.

[SIGHS] Rowena, I don't know

if you believe in old-fashioned
ideas like love at first sight,

-but... -No, I don't.

Well, I do. And I think
I've fallen in love with you.

Look, I have nothing
to offer you right now

except my heart.

I know I can turn that farm
into a paying proposition.

And then when I have
some kind of future

- to offer you...
- Jim, please, don't.

Look, you don't have to
give me an answer right away.

I know we can make it work.

Rowena!

Oh, come now, Mr. Clements,

you must eat to
keep up your strength.

You are going to need it.

Mr. Roarke.

Am I glad to see you. [GROANS]

I think I need a new plan.

Are you saying things are
not going as you hoped?

You know darn well how
they're going. [GROANS]

What do you mean,
keep up my strength?

Oh, for the interrogation.

You see, the colonel will demand

to know the names of the
men she's convinced hired you.

And she will go to any...

shall we say,
extremes to get them.

Mr. Roarke, you got to help me.

Oh, no, no, no, that's
out of the question.

You must do it yourself.
And think up a new plan.

Improvise.

You know, the old
adage is correct.

Where there is a
will, there is a way.

Think of it.

Improvise, Mr. Clements.

Improvise.

[LAUGHS] I get it. He
left the door unlocked.

Mr. Roarke.

Mr. Roarke!

See how he talks to
the air? He's delirious.

I told you he needed
medical attention.

Here are the keys to the cells.

I took them from
the colonel's office.

Gina! Gina, I could kiss you.

As a matter of
fact, I think I will.

All right. Um, first of all,

get the other girls
out of the cell, all right?

Second,

try to keep from getting
sh*t while we're doing it.

MR. ROARKE: My dear friends,

welcome to these
two exciting days

of the Fantasy
Island horse show.

As you know,

the winner of today's
open hunter competition

will be awarded a Gold Cup,

the coveted Blue Ribbon,

and a purse of $ , .

We are now ready to
begin the competition,

which promises to be a most
exciting exhibition. Thank you.

Thank you, boss.

Ladies and gentlemen,

for our first rider,

we're going to have number
, Mr. King on Beautiful Star.

Crystal, can we talk?

I have nothing to say to you.

But I want you to understand.
What you heard last night

is just not what
it sounded like.

It doesn't matter because
I'm going to win this time.

I've thought about it a lot,

and I have two very
important reasons now.

I know one of those
reasons is Candy Kisses.

But what's the other one?

I'm going to win that
ribbon for your aunt.

-[SIGHS] -I'll have chances

to win lots of Blue
Ribbons. And so will you.

But Miss Haversham...

[SIGHS] she'll never win one.

I'm going to win that
ribbon and give it to her.

Great. Looks like
everything's still here.

Plan B, part two,
coming up. Come on.

He must not be
allowed to escape.

From my prison? Impossible.

May I remind you, my
love, that you once told me

it was impossible for anybody
to even get into your prison.

And may I remind you

that you're much easier to
love with your mouth closed,

my darling.

In any case,

my elite guard will
investigate every possibility.

[APPLAUSE]

MR. ROARKE: And now,
today's final contestant,

saluting the judge,

is Miss Rowena Haversham,
number , on Kentucky Dream.

Mr. Roarke, I sure
hope you know your stuff.

[SIGHS]

Miss Haversham leads

with a score of . .

Congratulations, Miss Haversham.

Something wrong?

Yes, there is, and I
don't understand it.

I'm going to win
the Blue Ribbon.

I've saved Candy
Kisses for Crystal.

So why do I feel so rotten?

Perhaps there are more
important things in life

than winning.

I just can't rob
Crystal of the joy

of saving Candy Kisses herself.

[SIGHS] Mr. Roarke, I
want to change my fantasy.

Change your fantasy?

No, I'm afraid that's not
possible, Miss Haversham.

However, you should
remember that the key to winning,

is in that special riding
crop you're carrying.

[HORSE SNORTING]

Of course.

Thanks, Mr. Roarke.

The duffel bag the
stranger hid on the roof,

it's missing from my office.

Then he intends to use
those balloons to escape.

Now, where do you suppose
he intends to escape from?

Right where he hid them
in the first place, on the roof.

Exactly.

Here.

[EXHALES] I think
you're going to need that.

Let's go.

[GRUNTS]

[WHISPERING] Okay, girls,
come on over here. Come on.

I want you to crouch
down here and be quiet.

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

[GROANING]

[GRUNTING]

[WHISPERING] Okay, girls.

[AIR HISSING]

I came here to rescue you.

And that's exactly
what I'm going to do.

You see, my
future depends on it.

But wait a minute, listen to me.

You don't understand, I
don't want to be rescued.

That's a shame. Come on.

- All right, get moving.
- I'm not going anywhere.

- Oh, yes, you are. Come on.
- Ouch!

Commandant, may I
have your sidearm please?

Girls, help them into
their harnesses there.

Ah! Make sure they're
nice and snug, girls.

Oh, don't worry, I
checked the air currents.

In about six hours,
you'll be coming down

in United States territory.

What am I going to do with her?

Well now, you haven't
had any problem

figuring that out so far.

[GRUNTS]

[ALARM BLARING]

You got us into this
mess. Do something quick.

Just what would you
suggest, my dear?

Improvise, Kodiak.

Improvise.

Girls, get ready for plan
B, part four. Come on.

I think we found
our ticket out of here.

Climb aboard, ladies.

Hang on. Here we go.

Good girl, Gina!

Okay, here comes the
gate. Keep your heads down.

All right, girls. We
made it, we're free!

Crystal.

Oh, it's you.

I thought you'd be getting
ready to accept your Blue Ribbon.

Oh, don't be too hard on me.

We train all our lives
for this big moment.

And when it finally comes,

naturally we try and
do the best we can.

Well, you certainly
did your best today.

[ROWENA SIGHS]

Come on. Where's that spirit?

The competition isn't over yet.

Well, it might as well be.

You got the highest score
ever awarded in this competition.

Listen, Crystal,

you were right, you
know. You are going to win.

What makes you think so?

Because if you
really want to win

nothing can stop you.

And you have the two best
reasons in the world. Remember?

That doesn't mean anything.

ROWENA: It means everything.

I tell you what.

I'm going to give you my
special good luck charm.

Here. Now hold onto this,

and believe with all your
heart that you're going to win.

Candy Kisses is counting on you,

and so am I.

You really think I can do it?

Oh, I know you can.

-Come on. -Okay.

Miss Haversham,

that was a most
admirable gesture.

Oh, what else could I do?

This means, of course,

that you've lost your chance
to win the Blue Ribbon.

Oh, no.

I'll win twice over.

But I'm afraid your fantasy
is over, Miss Haversham.

Only the one I came
here for, Mr. Roarke.

[APPLAUSE]

MR. ROARKE:
Ladies and gentlemen,

may I have your
attention please.

I have just been
handed the score.

For the first
time in the history

of this exciting
and difficult event,

the judge has awarded a score...

-of . . -[APPLAUSE]

The winner of
today's competition,

ladies and gentlemen,

is Miss Crystal Denning
on Candy Kisses.

[CHEERING CONTINUES]

CRYSTAL: We won,
Uncle Jim. We won.

You won, sweetheart. You
won all the way. [CHUCKLES]

Look at this.

This is yours, Miss Haversham.

Thank you, my child.

May I ask for whom you
are looking, Miss Denning?

Oh, just a friend.

I wanted to thank
her for lending me

her beautiful riding crop

and giving me the spirit to win.

Well, Mr. Clements,
you don't look happy

this bright and
cheerful morning.

Well, Gina's father wants
her to come home immediately.

So, I guess that leaves
good old Boston for me, huh?

Are you sure that's
where you're going?

My flight's been changed?

Instead of flying directly
back to the mainland,

where a grateful United
States government official

would present you your reward,

you will first visit a
certain capital city

where a hero's
welcome awaits you.

You will be the personal
guest of the President.

It's a surprise, darling.

Well, with the trade winds
and Mr. Roarke on our side,

how can we lose?

-[CHUCKLES] -You can't.

- Mr. Roarke, thank you.
- You're very welcome.

-Bye-bye, Tattoo. -Goodbye.

- Thank you. Bye-bye.
- You're very welcome. Goodbye.

How wonderful to see you

out of that wheelchair,
Miss Haversham.

These two had to pry me out.

But now that I've made
it, there's no stopping me.

Or my partners.

- Partners?
- We're going to raise horses,

lots and lots of them.

With the Haversham
farm reputation

and a champion
like Candy Kisses,

we can't miss.

Thanks for
everything, Mr. Roarke.

You're very
welcome, Mr. Denning.

- Thank you. Goodbye.
- Goodbye, Miss Denning.

Well, what about it, Mr. Roarke?

Will Candy Kisses be a champion?

Does the riding crop
have the same power

once it leaves Fantasy Island?

Why, Miss Haversham,
the riding crop

has no special powers.

It doesn't? But I...

The real power was in your
gesture of love and generosity.

Candy Kisses was
always a champion.

Thank you.

Why, Tattoo, what is the matter?

Miss Haversham
has her Blue Ribbon,

and with Crystal and
Candy Kisses around,

she won't be lonely anymore.

Oh, I was always a
sucker for good endings.
